SECURILOCKPASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM
SecuriLock
passive anti-theft system is an engine immobilization
system. This system is designed to prevent the engine from being started
unless acoded key programmed to your vehicleis used. The
SecuriLock
passive anti-theft system is not compatible with non-Ford
aftermarket remote start systems. Use of these systems may result in
vehicle starting problems and a loss of security protection.
Theft indicator
The theft indicator is located on top of the instrument panel.
•When the ignition is in the OFF/LOCK position, the indicator will flash
once every 2 seconds to indicate the SecuriLock
system is
functioning as a theft deterrent.
•When the ignition is in the RUN position, the indicator will glow for 3
seconds to indicate normal system functionality.

If a problem occurs with the SecuriLock
system, the indicator will flash
rapidly or glow steadily when the ignition is in the ON position. If this
occurs, the vehicle should be taken to an authorized dealer for service.
Key information
Your vehicle is supplied withtwo coded keys (or three keys, if the
valet feature is available).Only acoded keywill start your vehicle.
Spare coded keys may be purchased from an authorized Ford dealer. An
authorized Ford dealer can also program yourcoded key,or you can do
it yourself. Refer toProgramming spare keys.
The following items may prevent the vehicle from starting:
•Large metallic objects.
•Electronic devices on the key chain that can be used to purchase
gasoline or similar items.
•A second key on the same key ring as thecoded key.
If any of these items are present, you need to prevent these objects from
touching thecoded keywhile starting the engine. These objects cannot
damage thecoded key,but may cause a momentary“no start”condition
if they are too close to the key when starting the engine. If a problem
occurs, turn the ignition to the OFF position and restart the engine with
all other objects on the key ring held away from the ignition key. Check
to make sure thecoded keyis an approved Fordcoded key.
If your keys are lost or stolen, you will need to do the following:
•Use your spare key to start the vehicle, or
•Have your vehicle towed to an authorized Ford dealer or a locksmith.
The key codes will need to be erased from your vehicle and new
codes will need to be re-coded.
Replacing coded keys can be very costly and you may want to store an
extra programmed key away from the vehicle in a safe place to prevent
an unforeseen inconvenience.
The correctcoded keymust be used for your vehicle. The use of the
wrongcoded keymay lead to a“no start”condition.
If an unprogrammed key is used in the ignition, it will cause a
“no start”condition.
Programming spare keys
A maximum of eight keys can be coded to your vehicle. Only
SecuriLock
keys can be used. To program acoded keyyourself, you

will need two previously programmedcoded keys(keys that already
operate your vehicle’s engine) and the new unprogrammed key(s) readily
accessible for timely implementation of each step in the procedure.
If two previously programmed coded keys are not available, you must
bring your vehicle to your dealership to have the spare coded key(s)
programmed.
Please read and understand the entire procedure before you begin.
1. Insert the first previously
programmedcoded keyinto the
ignition and turn the ignition from 2
(OFF/LOCK) to 3 (RUN) (maintain
ignition in 3 (RUN) for at least
three seconds, but no more than ten
seconds).
2. Turn ignition from 3 (RUN) back
to 2 (OFF/LOCK) in order to
remove the firstcoded keyfrom
the ignition.
3. Within ten seconds of removing the firstcoded key,insert the second
previously programmedcoded keyinto the ignition and turn the ignition
from 2 (OFF/LOCK) to 3 (RUN) (maintain ignition in 3 (RUN) for at
least three seconds but no more than ten seconds).
4. Turn the ignition from 3 (RUN) back to 2 (OFF/LOCK) in order to
remove the secondcoded keyfrom the ignition.
5. Within 10 seconds of removing the secondcoded key,insert the new
unprogrammed key (new key/valet key) into the ignition and turn the
ignition from 2 (OFF/LOCK) to 3 (RUN) (maintain ignition in 3 (RUN)
for at least three seconds, but no more than ten seconds). This step will
program your new key to a coded key.
6. To program additional new unprogrammed key(s), repeat this
procedure from step 1.
If successful, the new coded key(s) will start the vehicle’s engine and the
theft indicator will illuminate for three seconds and then go out.
If not successful, the new coded key(s) will not start the vehicle’s engine
and the theft indicator will flash on and off and you may repeat steps 1
through 5. If failure repeats, bring your vehicle to your dealership to
have the new spare key(s) programmed.
